Pauly Word	Info	Türkic Word	Info	Extra Info
Dadagos	Son of Kuzaios (Δάδαγος Κουζαίου). Στρατηγός in Olbia approx. 2nd century. AD, Latyshev Inscr. orae septent. Ponti E. I 79.	tatag	taste, flavor	His father’s name Kuzayos is interesting, too. Kuz: a place out of sunlight  a shady place, ay: moon. Kuzey is a popular name in modern Türkiye, too.
Dadara	(Ptolem. V 19, 3), city in Syria (Ptolem. ἔρημος Ἀραβία), located on the Euphrates; otherwise unknown.	ara	the place in between
Dadas	Founder of Themissos in Caria, Steph. Byz. see Θεμισσός.	Suffix +daş	This suffix makes partnership and sharing names from names.	Themissos: +su: water
Dagalassos	or Dagolassos, a place between Arabissos and Nikopolis, 24 miles from the latter, Itin. Ant, 182. 207. 213. Perhaps the Sivri Tepe, 3 hours east of Kechiut, whence an inscription from the Justinian period is said to come. Munro Roy. Geogr. Society 1893 III 5 Suppl. pap. 724. Perhaps = Megalossos (Ptolem. V 6, 10) and Megalasso, Tab. Peut.	su	water
Dagisthaios	(Greek: Δαγισθαῖος, Dagisthaîos) was a 6th-century Eastern Roman military commander, probably of Gothicorigin, in the service of the emperor Justinian I.	dağ: mountain	tai: mountain
Daiara	(Δαίαρα), place in Mesopotamia, on the right bank of the Euphrates, Isid. Char. Mans. Parth. 1 (Geogr. gr. min. I 245).	ara	the place in between
Daix	(Gen. Δάϊκος), a river of Sarmatia flowing from the North Russian mountains into the Caspian Sea, Ptolem. VI 14, 2-5; Daïcus (sic) Ammian. Marc. XXIII 6, 63; Δαΐχ Menander Protector in the year 568, Γεήχ Const. Porphyr. d. adm. imp. 37 p. 164; Jajac in Joh. de Plano Carpini and Wilh. de Rubruk; the river formerly called Jajiq has been called Ural since the days of Empress Catherine II. The word is Hunnic-Turkish: jajygh (from jatygh) 'spread out' from jat-, jaj- 'to spread out'; In Turkish, the initial j is often followed by an inorganic d, hence the real pronunciation Djajygh. The Chunoi (see above), who emigrated from Inner Asia, appear in Ptolemy's Pinax as being as far away as the Borysthenes.	Türks called it YAYIK.	This hydronym shows that the Türks in the 2nd C after Jesus lived there, very probably gave names to waters of an area a couple of centuries before 2nd C AD. Pauly admits the Türkishness of that word.
Damuras	A river see Tamyras	Tamır	a hydronym that we can se in Central Asia.	tamır: vein, a suitable name for a river though. It shows us that the t ~ d change was possible
Damysos	(Δάμυσος), the fastest of all giants.	tam-: to be excited	+SIZ: suffix for the lack of sth.	tamsız: without being excited, cool :)
Danaba 4x	In Palmyrene (Δανάβα Ptolem. V 15, 24. Not. dign. or. XXXII 16, 31. Tab. Peut. Danova), place in Syria on the road from Damascus to Palmyra, 20 millien (30 km.) from Nezala (= Ḳarjatên).	oba	dwelling place

Alex. 8. 65. Strab. XV 715f. 718 (in Strabo he is called Mandanis, evidently as a result of an error in tradition).	tanu-	know	+mış/+miş: suffix that makes a noun from a verb
Danipasos	(Δανίπασος or Δανιπασός) river in the area of ​​Latos in Crete, CIG II 2554 (3rd century).	su	water
Dapyx	King of the Getae, south of the Danube, near its mouth. We hear of him only once in Cass. Dio LI 26 on the occasion of Crassus' campaigns on the lower Danube.	TAPIK	meaning „people respect him“ (tap-: to worship, serve)	I have already written a blog about that name. a 100% compatible with Turkish onomastics
Dardanos	many not Greek persons	tartan?	the one who shares things fairly	a feature of the Türkic governmental system (sharing the richness among the smaller chieftains)
Dareios Kodamannus	Persian King	kodaman	big, great	Mother Sisygambis (altgriechischΣισύγαμβις must have had the Türkish name Çiçek meaning flover
Dariagara	Place in the hinterland of India in the estuary of the Doanas and Seros (Mā.kong), Ptolem. VII 2, 24; perhaps Arianagara should be read, ‘Aryan city’?	ara	the place in between
Many toponyms with Dari		Tarı	all kinds of crops, grains
Dasius	Latin form of a Messapian name. Its bearers belonged to an old Apulian princely family, which later still held the highest offices, especially in Arpi and Salapia, and which even in the Hannibalic War placed itself at the head of the national anti-Roman party.	taş	stone	I have written a blog about Altinius Dasius and compared it to Türkic ALTUN TASH (an old Türkic name). Catalan Altini Dasi version of that name makes it more clear. https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altini_Dasi
Dascyleion	many non-Greek town names	„tasġaru" "taşġaru	outside	Vorstadt
Dastarkon	Castell in Cataonia on a mountain at the foot of which the river Karmalas flows, Strab. XII 537. Texier Descr. de l’Asie Mineure II 43ff. looks for it, albeit doubtfully, in the mountains north of Marash near Nadjar. Ramsay's approach (Recueil des travaux relat. à la philol. et archéol. ass. et égypt. 1892, 81; Asia minor 312) in the Zamanti-su region is based on the false identification of this river with the Karmalas (see above).	das: tash meaning outside	tarkan: an old Türkic title
Dauaba	Place on the east bank of the Caspian Basin, near the supposed mouth of the Oxus, Ptolem. VI 14, 14. VIII 23, 16; roughly in the location of today's Krasnowodsk; until then the certain knowledge of the Caspian east bank may have been enough; -aba may contain the Iranian word for 'water', Zend. âp (nom. âfs), New Persian âb, âbe; for the first part Zend. daqyu, daṅhu 'nation', zaza-kurd. dau 'village' could be used, cf. Daai.	Tawoba	Dwelling place at mountain

Wüstenfeld) II 621. IV 164 still a castle in later Arab times.	ara	the place in between
Dausdava	a pre-Roman site in Moesia inferior between the Danube and the Haemus (Ptolem. III 10, 12 μεταξὺ δὲ τοῦ ποταμοῦ πόλεις αἵδε· Δαούσδαυα), is hypothetically linked by H. Kiepert Formae orbis antiqui XVII Beiblatt p. 3, 28 with the extensive ruins site (remains of a fortification about 6 km. long and 3 km. wide, according to E. Bormann Jahreshefte des österr. archaeol. Instituts I 53 amalgamation of a Roman camp with an old Bulgarian one) of Aboba and Söjütlü (7 km. northwest of Jenipazar in Bulgaria.	oba	dwelling place
Decebalus	was the last king of Dacia from about 85–106 AD	teke-ballı	teke is a kind of plant who helps erection because of the icariin. Tekeballı is compatible with Türkish onomastics, there is even a person with that surname.	Experiments with icariin on rats show that it causes neurotrophic effects and has an influence on the erection of the rat penis. 2 Teke-bala would be the child of a manly (male) goat.

Dengizik	(died in 469), was a Hunnic ruler and son of Attila.	dengizik	little lake	It shows us that the Türkic „t“ could change into greek/Latin „d“. Normally it should have been Tengizik.
